High horsepower (let's say 700+) guys; do you ever regret it?

[QUOTE="7upstang, post: 16171827, member: 143363"] I'll bite. Last car was much like yours, twin turbo coyote making around 730rwhp. Bought it used, but it was a Hellion car with 55mm turbos and a built motor. I bought the car to have fun and keep miles off my King Ranch F-350, figured I'd kill two birds with one stone. So, I daily drove the car for a while which was pointless. First week, I almost wrecked the car around 50mph because I was on street tires, completely blew the tires off the car in second gear at part throttle, just normal driving. The car would hook over 80mph on street tires for the most part. But I live in Florida, so daily driving on drag radials wasn't idea. Second time was from a 40 roll in 3rd gear, the car got so far away me I surely thought I was going to wreck the car. Never thought I would have a problem at that low of a speed in 3rd gear. But the 55's just spooled up so quick. Third time I was at 3/4 around 110mph and the back end came out, I couldn't have been at over 3-4psi. Extremely cold morning. The car basically lived on a drag radial after that. I barely drove the car due to the weather in Florida. Looking back, I should have set up the boost controller to a more manageable PSI or boost by gear. Probably should had done a wider Michelin Pilot Sport tire (Yes expensive, but would have been more manageable in the rain). All in all, I rarely was able to drive the car to it's full potential for fear of jail time. Although, I pretty much knew where most of the cops would sit around us so it was always a planned pull. Rarely did I ever do a random pull to over a 100mph. [/QUOTE]
